Drug Liking: Peak Effect (Emax)
Drug liking assesses the degree that a participant likes a drug effect at the time the question is being asked (that is, at the moment). It is scored using a 100 millimeter (mm) bipolar VAS anchored in the center with a neutral anchor of "neither like nor dislike" (score of 50 mm), on the extreme left with "strong disliking" (score of 0 mm) and on the extreme right with "strong liking" (score of 100 mm). Peak Effect (Emax) = Maximum observed score.
